Only in the West did a philosophy develop that was not only no longer the love of wisdom but went so far as to deny the category of wisdom as a legitimate form of knowledge. The result was a hatred of wisdom that should more appropriately be called 'misosophy' (literarily hatred of Sophia, Wisdom) rather than philosophy.

Hossein Nasr

Quote of the day
